This week on Profiler Africa, South Africa's leading forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne takes us inside a shocking event that rocked an affluent Johannesburg suburb: the 2011 Rosebank Police Station shooting. More than just a lone disgruntled employee, this case exposes the dangerous cracks within law enforcement and the chilling reality of workplace violence.
We delve into:
The Perpetrator & The Spark: Who was Kekana, the admin clerk whose dismissal triggered this tragedy, and what was the seemingly minor fraud that set it all in motion?
Ignored Warnings: The explicit threats made to Captain Neelavathie NAIDU and other officers before the shooting – and why these critical warning signs were dismissed.
Systemic Failure: Kekana's troubling access to firearms, the lack of proactive threat management within SAPS, and how internal dynamics contributed to the disaster.
Explosive Allegations: We also include a critical current affairs segment unpacking recent, high-level corruption claims by a provincial police commissioner, revealing how powerful criminal syndicates may control elements within Parliament, police, and the judiciary.
Lessons NOT Learned: Why, even after this horrific incident, crucial changes to police protocol and employee safety never materialized.
Also this week: Don't miss the next episode of our documentary series South African Serial – covering the infamous case of Donovan Moodley and the kidnap and murder of Leigh Matthews. This episode will be live for all viewers on Thursday, July 10th at 8 AM SAST.
